While they may come from different backgrounds, one thing they have in common is that they put their own money up and bet on themselves.<\/p>\n
The biggest common denominator between all these folks is a tremendous amount of self-confidence and willingness to take risks,<\/strong>\u201d he said. \u201cIn that sense, I think you could put any of these gamblers up against any of the most successful entrepreneurs in America, too.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnother common factor is their love of games of all types. They may have mastered one, Hill said, but they\u2019re captivated by others, too.<\/p>\n
